Our
goal and our vision with this challenge would be to see the 25 lbs. of selvage we have plus any selvage you might have go
to a great cause while being turned into quilts. As you may or may not know, Stash Builder Box is a monthly quilting box that makes quilt tops for kids in need. As an effort to gather quilt tops and
allow our Heart Builders team to finish them so we can donate them, we hope you’ll
join us in our challenge. Our challenge is open to anyone, any age/skill level
and worldwide!

CATEGORIES:

We realize that you may not have time to make a full quilt top if time does not allow so we
will have two categories so everyone can join:

1.
Single Item Category - This category will constitute ANY single item, any size
made using selvage – pillow, zipper pouch, bag – anything you want to make
that does not fall into our second quilt category below.

2.
Quilt Category - This category will be made up of quilts. This can be a quilt
top or complete quilt. Selvages can be combined with fabric from
your stash to make any quilt of your choice – you determine the size, pattern or no pattern, quilt top, or complete finished quilt.

If you would like donate anything you make, it will all go to a good cause! Our suggested donation size for quilts/quilt tops would be no smaller than 40x50 and as large as you’d like. Our donation address and donation organization info can be found here: http://stashbuilderbox.com/heartbuilders

You are free to donate and ship to us anytime, please be sure to post a picture with the #selvagechallenge2016 prior to shipping it in to be entered ;) Our team of Heart Builders will finish all quilt tops so we can donate them to kids in need.
